Yes, just like software/data. There are real physical bits underlying every operation on the computer but if you examine those bits instead of the higher level logical operations most of the time you will get lost in the forest.
There is a difference, a psychological addiction is one wherein you've trained your brain into producing negative sensations to get the thing it wants through feelings of reward, a physical addiction is one wherein the substance itself chemically converts into reward signalling in the body. Sticking with the computer analogy, it's the difference between a software application and a physical circuit on the chip. They can accomplish much the same thing but are quite different.
In fairness, females tend to herd and feminists can be rude and hateful to others on their favorite subject and find allies as long as there are other females in the room or you are in a public forum since feminism is politically correct and equality is not.
A recent press release at Microsoft showing gender equality in their pay statistics also demonstrated that white males are some of the lowest paid people in the company. Statistically they should be the highest paid group if there is equality since it is male dominated field and whites are the majority, the most talented in tech in the US are statistically most likely to be white males.
Shhh you'll step on the toes of the idea that rape is about power and not sex. The idea isn't entirely wrong, it just presents a false dichotomy. Rape is about sex and power, feeling powerful and in control (and the idea of it) definitely sexually charges someone. Others are sexually charged by feeling like they have absolutely no control.
If it turns you on and it's what you like then it's what turns you on and is what you like. There is nothing wrong with people discovering what is actually the baseline for their sexual tastes rather than the puritan societal acceptance baseline some would consider healthy.
There is as much pornography depicting degrading men as there is degrading women it may even be the more popular flavor. None of this has anything to do with protecting girls.
If two individuals respect and love each other who is anyone to judge if it is exciting to roleplay something different in sexual scenarios.
"The problem is that sugar is needleslly subsidized [economics21.org] so their economic cost isn't realized in their market price."
On this point you definitely have it backwards. Sugar is indeed subsidized but that is to enable the sugar plantations in the US to exist and compete with Caribbean and South American producers. Combined with import taxes the result is an INCREASED price for sugar. Without these subsidies the sugar plantations in the US would disappear, there would be no need for the high import taxes, and the cost would drop.
The physical part is over in under a week, everything you feel from there including any physical symptoms is psychologically induced.
There actually is a great deal of self-loathing. Most smokers want to quit but aren't willing to endure it. More than that they can't get past their own brain defiantly slipping in thoughts that they want the very thing they hate and want to quit. You'll tell yourself that you want nothing more to do with this, your brain will slip in a suggestion that you should just finish the pack first and it goes from there.
I can see why some of the religious want to associate those whispers in your own head with a demon.
Then Netflix shouldn't put it on my list. Or rather they should dish out for the rights, they've continued to increase prices while dropping more than half their content.
C&D letters to people with blatant fair use arguments could be a creative way to get the job done. They reply making an argument for fair use, you file that away, and now you have a record of defending your trademark.
As to whether or not there even actually is one, being a public figure does not negate his ability to file trademarks that is false. I have no idea if he actually has or not, looking would require more shits than I can spare for this issue.;)
"because it is parody and not, as the grandparent claimed, because "as a public figure"
And in either case, the aforementioned statute still requires an attempt to defend the trademark. In fact, choosing places that have fair use defenses is a way to do establish a record of doing so while doing no damage at all since they will simply respond pointing out fair use. Insert in file, congrats, you can establish you've defended your trademark.
Have never worked? Bernie promotes a return to the only sort of economic policies that have ever worked in the US. What the R party is pushing has only been tried to a significant degree twice the first time it led to the great depression and the second time the great recession.
His "commie" programs wouldn't even return taxation to Carter administration levels.
Sure enough. It shows that he doesn't have the best advisors. For instance, in his last debate with Hillary it was obvious she already knew the questions and had her responses canned while the questions were obviously new to him. She or someone in her campaign has an insider. You will also notice she has the last chance to speak on each question.
There were a number of points where he could have hit her hard. When she attacked him on his gun control stances in the past he could have roasted her support of international arms deals with countries that donate to the Clinton foundation. There were at least a half dozen other points were he could have slammed her and the voice in his ear should have said as much.
The scientists were wrongly prosecuted. They reported their assessment based on a review of the data available to them. They did not state whether or not there would be an earthquake.
I certainly agree that they are. The sale of T-shirts is not protected by the first amendment. But others have successfully made millions off of parody so lets set that aside a moment as well.
The nature of trademark is such that if one doesn't attempt to defend it when violations are brought to one's attention it dilutes the trademark. It isn't like copyright or patents where you can selectively enforce.
"True though I was stating that they have the power, ceded in the constitution, to create a military. What's debatable is should it be a standing army or not. I do not believe that's actually enumerated."
It actually is enumerated, the federal government is explicitly allowed the Navy and explicitly not allowed to gather a standing army for more than 2 years in time of peace.
No, it says there was a signal and now we know about two objects. It lacks a couple critical pieces of information, that the objects are comets and that the comets are actually expected to emit a signal like the one he found!
That isn't a blank you can expect a typical reader to just know off the top of their head as a given even on a site that is News for Nerds.
You shouldn't be trying to discourage a kid from playing minecraft. Minecraft is a giant creative sandbox with extremely sophisticated logical circuitry.
You'd be amazed at what people build. Everything from simple circuits to automatically open doors and exploiting the game physics to have signals degrade at a fix rate to introduce intentional calibrated delays to full blown Apple 2 recreations and oscilloscopes. There are programmable elements now introducing programming or you can do it more hardware style with redstone circuitry or some combination of the two. Instead of splitting apart the creative and those who are better at math the two are tightly integrated as you use electronics (redstone), programming, to build elements that automate, compliment, and directly enhance your creative designs.
You might build your multi-building castle compound and build sophisticated circuitry to enable the lights to detect day/night and light the entire compound at night. You'll likely use plumbing on modern minecraft servers, even using series of tubes and control circuits so you can drop random stuff you've mined and collected in chests at various places and have it automatically sorted and stored into underground organized values for that purpose, then you'll build out chests, dispensers, and other storage objects at useful locations and have their contents auto-filled from these vaults. Even automatically filter known trash items and drop them on lava to destroy them.
Well, the Constitution does empower the congress to make laws for the general welfare (as in good, not charity per say although broad spectrum charity is in the interest of the general welfare), which would be broadly beneficial things and could certainly be used to defend programs like social security, medicaid, and medicare. And the interstate commerce clause is there but almost certainly refers to matters of interstate trade as well as disputes between states. Both are now ridiculously over interpreted.
The problem is the supreme court stopped doing it's job a long time ago and instead rules according to political agendas instead of accurately interpreting the Constitution. Which aside from a few variances in how words are used (regulated in the 2nd amendment meant disciplined or trained in common amercian english at the time for instance). So you don't need to be a lawyer, it wasn't written by lawyers. You can in fact pick up the Constitution and sanity check the supreme.
"For the record, however, military matters are well and truly within the scope of the Federal government."
That actually isn't accurate. The Constitution made a clear separation of military powers, at the time there was no airforce so set that aside for a moment. The ground troops and army was to be composed by assemblying local level militias into a federal army in time of war and then sending them home afterward. It can be assembled for no more than 2 years in time of peace. There is nothing stopping the funding of arms and training for these groups but domestic military power on the ground was deliberately denied to the federal government. This is why a redundancy has been built into the Navy which has the marines (ground troops), blue angels (air force), and a full nuclear arsenal in case they ever get called on this. The navy is the only branch of the military that is actually legally within federal authority, the rest of it is explicitly illegal. You could make a case that the air force falls in the spirit of this since like the navy they are large expensive vessels that protect multi-state borders.
Fair enough but there is a pretty solid argument to make that a huge chunk of health science is pseudo science.
Studying the interaction of a molecule with bacteria under a microscope is certainly science but the "studies" that follow are definitely soft science if not pseudo science.
Technically, if you are using the scientific method, it's science, period but the word has taken on a firmer meaning in modern society to mean definitive and highly controlled studies leading to solid, I can send you to the moon and back while the entire world watches based on our calculations now accurate mathematical models.
Very little soft health science has any chance of doing more toward that end than inspiring someone to do real hard science with it's results and mere personal anecdote or a hunch can accomplish that.

Indeed, there isn't really a great argument against polygamy itself.

It's an open air park, the smoke from a cigarette presents no health risk to anyone, certainly less than the cars driving by.
At that point it's an annoyance. If you want to play polka in the park I can't stop you, without a health risk how is it different?

I never once saw any sort of region block and just saw "This title isn't available in the US" yesterday... on a US title!

Well really, if he thought he'd could prove it was E.T. I'd toss a couple bucks his way but why bother funding a debunking, no fun there.
Well stated. Not that I blame, I too want a free telescope and dude has come up with a better excuse to buy him one than I ever will.
